What’s in the House’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus plan

By artappraiser on Sun, 02/28/2021 - 1:23am |

The House on Saturday passed the American Rescue Plan, marking a crucial step towards the White House’s first major piece of legislation.

By Rachel Siegel @ WashingtonPost.com, Feb. 27

The House on Saturday approved President Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus package, marking a crucial step toward passage of the White House’s first major piece of legislation.Biden unveiled his proposal, the American Rescue Plan, last month [....]

Many Democrats are backing Biden’s message that it is better to go too big on a relief bill than too small. Republicans, meanwhile, say the bill is much too large and is full of provisions that have little or nothing to do with responding directly to the pandemic.

The bill now heads to the Senate. Democratic leaders have said they hope to get a final version to Biden’s desk by mid-March, when expanded unemployment benefits expire for millions of Americans.

Here’s what is in the House version. These breakdowns and estimates were compiled from Congressional summaries and reports, as well as the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

Stimulus checks, unemployment insurance, child tax credit | Expanded unemployment insurance and child tax credit | Minimum wage | Pandemic response | Aid for state and local governments and transit | Schools and child care block grants | Assistance for food, rent and mortgages Business relief and retirement security | Health care coverage

Stimulus checks, unemployment insurance, child tax credit [....]

Senator Schatz:

The bill that we are passing cuts child poverty in half and people on here are saying almost nothing about that and I think that’s a mistake. For my part I’m gonna try to talk more about it over the next few days and weeks.

New - In pitch to Senate Democrats, Biden urges them to reject poison pill amendments that could sink the relief plan, per source, telling them that the vote he is asking them to take on bill isn't politically difficult bc of the bipartisan support outside the halls of Congress.
— Manu Raju (@mkraju) March 2, 2021

Biden also told them they all need to accept some provisions they might not like but also must demonstrate to the American people they are responding to the devastating public health and economic crises, per source.
— Manu Raju (@mkraju) March 2, 2021

Ahead of marathon voting session, where any amendment with 51 votes can alter plan, Biden said Democrats need to show voters they can accomplish this major achievement, while conceding they may have to accept some pieces of the plan they might not favor. https://t.co/xajRDucty0

Not just Manchin. Shaheen tells me she’d like to see changes to COVID package — adding funding for broadband and the Provider Relief Fund, to be offset potentially by further targeting weekly UI benefits and putting a lower cap than the House put on for the stimulus checks
— Igor Bobic (@igorbobic) March 2, 2021

Recall that the House last month, after pressure from senators, already put in a cap on who would receive stimulus checks in order to prevent higher earners from getting one. Shaheen wants the Senate version even more targeted.
— Igor Bobic (@igorbobic) March 2, 2021

In order to pass the bill with 51 votes, Senate can’t simply increase the size of the bill. The 1.9 trillion is already baked in. But Dems could fiddle with the numbers and shift money around within those parameters. The risk is that too many changes would threaten House passage

Monmouth has a new poll adding complexity to Biden's "if a majority supports it, it's bipartisan" position. Most do support the bill — but also support compromise with the GOP — except on the checks — where Biden's already made a compromise. https://t.co/QRg7iKCmiV
— Philip Bump (@pbump) March 3, 2021

by artappraiser on Wed, 03/03/2021 - 1:38pm

CHARTS from poll and summary paragraphs from Bump's analysis article:

What’s sort of refreshing about Biden’s definition of unity is that it lays bare the machinations that always undergird the development of complex policy packages. There’s always a tug-of-war aimed at pleasing the base and dampening opposition; now, Biden simply states what intended political outcomes are.

The Monmouth poll also reveals another truism of politics: People are happy for compromise on things they don’t care about. Unfortunately for elected officials, people generally only care about those things where compromise ends up being sought.

Krugman's 6 tweets to the faithful warning about perfect being enemy of the good, stop nitpicking and move:

As the Senate begins debate on the Biden relief bill, let me remind everyone of three crucial facts:

1. The bill is imperfect — because all legislation is imperfect

2. Nonetheless, it's very, very good

3. The clock is ticking 1/
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) March 4, 2021

On (1), sure, you can argue that some aid recipients don't need the money as badly as others. An idealized bill would target aid more accurately on families, local governments etc hurt worst by the pandemic. But so what? 2/
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) March 4, 2021

The great bulk of the proposed outlays will go to extremely worthy causes — shots in arms, reopened schools, sustaining the unemployed, avoiding cuts in crucial services, and more. Compared with real-world bills of the past, this one is amazingly good 3/
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) March 4, 2021

And it must be done fast. If it doesn't happen literally within days, some unemployed workers will be cut off. Beyond that, anyone awake in 2009 knows that political momentum, once lost, is very hard to regain. 4/
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) March 4, 2021

So for good-faith critics of the details: OK, you've been heard. If some of the problems you've predicted, like inflationary heating, come true — I don't think so, but they might — your prescience will be duly acknowledged 5/
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) March 4, 2021

But this thing isn't going back to the drawing board. The choice now is to pass it, imperfections and all, or have the whole effort to rescue the economy crash and burn. Please, let's just get this done 6/
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) March 4, 2021

and a good reminder in reply to him:

And remember this bill has huge BIPARTISAN support from every around the country except DC republicans. They don't want it to work because they know it's going to help a lot of people who are hurting and that's not going to help their 2022 campaign agenda. Not one bit.
